1 inch...hell those are sissy spacers. ive got 2" and threw that bar in the trash.
hmmm, im gonna make some 6" spacers to offset the cost of that long travel setup
wonder if we can still get the free helmet if already got the spacers. looks like you have to watch a safety video to get the helmet.
also read you have to get on a list sense the parts arent available yet.

Moto , i see new bearings and hubs in your future......

I took my 1" spacers off the rear. My 4.0+3.0 wheel offsets do the job.

The recall made the local tv news this wednesday morning and advised to not use the rhino till its fixec. So I guess i wont be able to meet you guys up around brimstone this weekend.

I got an 08 , But i want a free Helmet too....

Yamaha recalls 2008 Rhinos
Problem with brake caliper affects 7,800 vehicles
Story by ATV.com Staff, Apr. 01, 2008

Yamaha Motor Corp. USA of Cypress Calif. has recalled some of its 2008 Rhino side-by-side vehicles due to a problem with a brake caliper.

The recall, which was voluntarily conducted by Yamaha in cooperation with the Consumer Products Safety Commission, affects about 7,800 Rhino YXR450 and YXR700 UTVs. Owners of these vehicles should stop using them immediately unless otherwise instructed.

The brake caliper on the left front wheel may have been made incorrectly, which could result in brake fluid leaking. This can cause a loss of braking and control of the vehicle, which poses a serious safety risk to the driver and passenger. No injuries have been reported.

These vehicles, which retailed for between $8,300 and $12,000, were sold nationwide from October 2007 through March 2008.

For additional information, vehicle owners can contact Yamaha at (800) 962-7926 or visit the company’s website at http://www.yamaha-motor.com/

I may atleast get free Brakes....

I ran my VIN before I bought it to make sure mine was not one of the affected ones. Brakes are a good thing.........

2+5 front with 1-inch spacer, and 5+2 rear, no spacer ..... no swag-bar either here.
